Cannot sensibly enter text into Text Box

---- Reported by aviary.tree@ntlworld.com 2005-02-20 17:18:44 MST ---- Description of Problem: Using monobundle-1.1.4 installed on Fedora Core 1. I installed it (to /usr/local/monobundle-1.1.4), and set up the MONO_PATH env variable accordingly so mono execution would work. I am running a test program I wrote last year when learning Windows Forms with Sharpdevelop on Windows 2000 Text Box on the mono compilation and execution just does not work. It's ideal for entering palindromes like "lon nol" and "madam im adam" but completely messes up non-palindromes. Even "palindrome" comes out "emordnilap". You also have to wait for a window event to even get this drawn. Surprising, since much more complex controls work. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Create a simple Windows Form program and add one textbox control to the main form, although it may be advisable to have one other control such as a button. 2. Run it and try and enter text into the text box. Actual Results: Text entered does not initially appear at all. When clicking on another control, it appears in the text box in a small font, but text reversed. Also, if you attempt to alter the text, the cursor is not positioned where it appears, so characters some distance from the displayed cursor actually get changed. Expected Results: Text entered should appear immediately, with the characters in the order entered. If you try and delete a character next to the cursor, that character and no other should disappear. If inserting characters they should appear next to the cursor. How often does this happen? Every time.

This page shows status for controls, and only those in green are considered complete enough for bug-reporting: http://svn.myrealbox.com/mwf/owners.html ---- Additional Comments From aviary.tree@ntlworld.com 2005-02-21 13:51:01 MST ---- Created an attachment (id=167426) Program demonstrating fault (on my computer at least) ---- Additional Comments From aviary.tree@ntlworld.com 2005-02-21 13:54:37 MST ---- I did have parts of mono-1.0 installed (including libgdiplus). I've now done rpm -e on all the related packages, but the same faults (inc https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=MONO72775) still occur. I've attached the test program I used. ---- Additional Comments From peter@novonyx.com 2005-02-22 12:26:27 MST ---- If you still get the bug reported in 72775 you still are not running the right libgdiplus library. Problem is not reproducable here. Also, some contributors tested on their system, they cannot reproduce either. Sounds like your system is still mis-installed. ---- Additional Comments From peter@novonyx.com 2006-01-09 17:21:07 MST ---- No movement for a year -> closing.
